Leptin Receptor Long-form Splice-variant Protein Expression in Neuron Cell Bodies of the Brain and Co-localization with Neuropeptide Y mRNA in the Arcuate Nucleus

Reduced leptin (Ob protein) signaling is proposed to be a stimulus for the activation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene activity and increased expression of mRNA for the long form of the leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. To determine if Ob-Rb protein is expressed in arcuate nuc...
